Transcriptional control of insulin-sensitive glucose carrier Glut4 expression in adipose tissue cells

详细

In search for new targets for obesity treatment, we have studied the effect of several transcription factors on the conversion of murine preadipocytes from the 3T3-L1 cell line into adipocytes. We have found that knockdown of Prep1 gene expression affects adipogenic differentiation and results in significant increase in the insulin-sensitive glucose carrier Glut4 gene expression.
